Olympus SP-800UZ – Quick Review

High zoom point-and-shoot camera that offers good image quality

EVEN : 30x optical zoom, fairly compact design despite the large lens, good image quality, HD video recording

ODDS : Poor layout of controls, no shortcut buttons, cramped navigation dial, no manual settings, standard 4:3 aspect ratio make images look small on the wide screen display

Final Word :

The Olympus SP-800UZ is priced at Rs. 22,900. At that price you get a camera with an absurdly long zoom, good image quality and HD video recording. Unfortunately, the camera fails when it comes to manual control over the camera settings and the menu navigation isn’t particularly intuitive or convenient. If better control is what you desire then you would do better with a cheap DSLR, such as the Canon EOS-1000D. But if all you need is a high zoom camera with basic features and good image quality, then the Olympus SP-800UZ fits the bill.
